Wedding Preparation

In every wedding surely we need sign boards, especially those hosted at home. Even with GPS, elderly would prefer to go by hard copy map. I call this gut instinct, because they’re usually wrong.

Anyway, I did my own sign board using A4 paper. An A4 Paper is rather too small to make sign boards. It’s hardly seen. Even harder when driving. Therefor, I plan on printing 4 x A4 papers and stick em together.

The software that I’ll be using is Microsoft Powerpoint and PosteRazor. The latter was used to split the image.

Once you’re done, PosteRazor will print PDF format of the pages. Example.

Printing time!

For the printing papers, I chose the color blue. By choosing a specific color, I could differentiate my sign boards. This will also help drivers to identify the signs quicker rather than reading everything.

Here’s my example.

Rule of Thumb: Sign boards are to be seen. So make em huge! Not as big as RM’s hair-do ok?

To make matters worst, my house is only on one power phase, the rest went kaput. That means there’s only electricity at certain sockets in the house. My parents left for umrah, so now it’s up to me and my brother to get this done. But where the hell can I find an electrician nearing Eid Fitr? Damn I’m screwed.

A little addition, got some part-time project that consumes a damn lot of my time.

And so my parents left for umrah, leaving the rest of us behind. I hope they enjoyed their religious trip to the house of Arabs.

Now the real preparation begins. I need to clear my room, making way for the bride to move in. There’s always that discomfort feeling when throwing old stuff, it’s like breaking away from the fondest memories left behind. I guess its necessary to pave the future. Let’s just hope everything is fine and I don’t accidentally throw my brothers belonging.

With both my brothers (and their family) celebrating the festive Raya at their in-laws, looks I’ll be celebrating alone. Oh well, part of the gist of life.
